                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Lindsay Adams for being 
nominated as a finalist for the Illinois State Board of Education's 
2019 Teacher of the Year Award.
  Ms. Adams teaches chemistry, physics, forensic, and unified sciences 
at Gallatin County High School. Last year, Ms. Adams made a documentary 
about the total solar eclipse that she and her students tracked as it 
passed over North America, for which she was nominated for a Mid-
America Emmy. Her willingness to engage her students exemplifies the 
qualities of an excellent teacher.
  As a former teacher, I understand the important role that teachers 
play in our community. I am confident that, with educators such as Ms. 
Adams, our youth are in good hands.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to applaud Ms. Adams' well-deserved nomination 
for the Illinois State Board of Education's 2019 Teacher of the Year 
Award and wish her and her students the best in their future endeavors.
